Chetan Bhagat praised Shah Rukh Khan in a recent conclave he was attending. The writer noted that he might have not worked with SRK but he has had a few run-ins with him. One of which was on the sets of Om Shanti Om. The Five Point Someone and Half Girlfriend writer revealed that at the time, Chetan wasn’t as popular as he is today and yet, Shah Rukh personally arranged for a chair for his mother when they were on the sets of the Farah Khan film.
“Once I remember, Om Shanti Om was being shot and at that time I was new. I was not popular. My mother was there. The shot got over and he saw that my mother is older, he went, and nobody on the set thought of it and he picked up a chair for my mother. So how can I not like that level of person?” he told India Today.
Sharing another incident, the writer said, “I have not done a movie with him, but I have gone to his house once for some work. I have gone to the houses of actors who have done my movies, Shah Rukh is the only one who walked out of his house to see me to my car. That’s the kind of manners he has.” Chetan added that he is ‘biased’ towards Shah Rukh. “I am a little biased (towards Shah Rukh Khan) because I have interacted with him. They are all good actors. But, Shah Rukh Khan is good as a human being. I will give you two examples.”
Chetan Bhagat has a good relationship with Bollywood. Five of his books have been adapted into films. These include 3 Idiots, 2 States, One Night at a Call Centre, Half Girlfriend and Kai Po Che. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh is preparing for the shoot of his upcoming film, King.
